Anti Coagulants

Blood clotting is required for preventing the flow of blood into the internal organs in the case of wound. However, if blood clots too much then it becomes a serious issue. Anti Coagulants are the drugs that prevent the coagulation of blood or clotting of blood.

Abnormal blood clotting can adversely affects the body by blocking blood vessels. This further leads to conditions such as stroke or heart attack in people. By reducing blood clotting, anticoagulants help to prevent pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.
